Flats in Boston.

Popular Science News.
In Boston as well as other large
cities the Pueblo-like apartment house
is rapidly supplanting the old system
of seperate dwellings,. On all the de-
sirable building sites these great eight
or ten story buildings rise into the air;
and the demand for their contracted
and uncomfortable ''fiats" at exorbi-
tant rents, is far beyond the supply.
A large and crowded city is very
undesirable place of residence, both
on account of sanitary and social con-
ditions, and we are glad to note the
increasing number of suburban homes
within a convenient railroad distance
of the city. Still, We suppose a large
proportion of the population will con-
tinue to live within metropolitan limits;
and the residence of the inhabitant of
Boston or New York bids fair to revert
to the type adopted so many year ago
by the prehistoric natives of New
Mexico and Arizona.

SnOwn newspaper man narrates the
following anecdote of his connection
with the nomenclature of a certain
brand of tobacco:
"The head of a large firm which
was about to put new smoking to-
bacco on the market asked me to think
up name for it. / cogitated over it
all night. This was a good many
years ago, when trademarks and such
things were much rarer than they are
now, because the industrial develop
ment of the country was insignificant
as compared with its present wide
spread activity and complexity. I
was young with romantic turn of
mind. Smoking suggested pipes and
pipes suggested the Indian calumet.
There | had it. Fastening to the
factory next morning | handed in q
slip of paper with the word Calumet
written upon it. The name was glad
ly accepted as just the thing, and the
head of the firm handed me $40 bill
for my reward. Would you believe
it, when that tobacco was issued to
the trade it was labelled Cabinet ?
The printer had set up that word in
stead of Calumet through carlessly
reading copy. The labels were struck
off without a correction of the typo
graphical error, and the tobacco bum
died, packed and put upon the market
before the mistake was discovered.
/ could never tell whether it made any
difference in the popularity of the
goods"

the cheap colored stocking should
never be worn the day upon which it

GAS EXPLOSION,
In the Story Building at Noon
To-day-Riley's Escape.

Yesterday afternoon Harry Riley
in the employ of the gas company was
sent to remove the meter and gas
stove from a room in the Story build
ing occupied by Dill Blair, foreman
of the BAzoo binding department.
On leaving Riley failed to plug the
pipe and in consequence the gas
was allowed to escape during
the night and until nearly
noon to-day,s when Mrs. Story
telephoned to the gas Office that her
house was filled wsth gas, and asked
them to send man to remedy the
same. Riley was dispatched to do
the job, and while applying the key to
the door thought he was saving time
by striking a match. 1t was an un-
lucky match for when the door opened
there was an explosion that tore the
plastering from the ceiling, burned
the window curtains, door facings,
blew a portion of the flooring up in
Robbins business college and came
near blowing Riley into Eternity.
Fortunately, however, he was stand
ing near the door and escaped with a
few burns about the hands and face.
Riley is an old gas man and the BAzoo
is surprised that he didn't know gas
would ignite and was of an explosive
character.

The Sultan and His Wives.
Modern S5ciety.


The ladies of the harem, it appears,
sometime ago expressed desire to
take cold baths, and since then great
preparations have been going forward
that they might be grati6ed. The
Commander of the Faithful had dug
in the middle of the gardens large
basin and lined it with marble. At
some distance from the bath was built
sheitering wall, some thirty feet
high, with sentry-boxes on the top for
the guardian eunuchs and, at about a
hundred feet from the wall on the other
side, an encampment was made for
defensive force of soldiers. When all
these elaborate preparations had been
completed for the comfort and pleasure
of his ladies the Sultan visited the
bath, and declared himself satisfied
with everything, and then added that
he was indeed so positively delighted
with it that he must really reserve it
for his own use. So the ladies of the
harem are still without their cold
baths.
